2.2.2 Disassembling the Camera
Refer to the steps and figure below for correct disassembly order of the camera.
1. Loosen the 3 screws of camera housing turning counterclockwise using the T20 security torx bit.
2. Gently pull the camera housing downward to separate it from the camera body.
DO NOT remove the camera from the camera bottom case during installation. The camera has been
designed to allow for installation without removing camera module from back box.

2.2.3 Installing the Desiccant
1. Lift to open the inner liner.
2. Secure the desiccant (via the sticker that is attached to the desiccant) on the inside part of inner liner as
shown in the following figure.
Figure 2 - 2: Installing the Desiccant
3. Return the inner liner back to its default position after desiccant installation.
2.2.4 Connecting the Cables
The I/O interfaces are on the front of the camera module. Make the appropriate cable connections.
1. Based on your needs, connect the power cable to the power port via one of the following 3 options.
24 VAC: Connect a power cable that supplies 24 VAC power source to the power terminal.
12 VDC: Connect a power cable that supplies 12 VDC power source to the power terminal.
NOTE: Be sure the polarities match when using 12 VDC power source.
PoE (Class 3): Connect an Ethernet cable terminated with a short-bodied RJ-45 connector to the
PoE RJ-45 port for both power supply and network connectivity purposes simultaneously.
2. Connect BNC cable for video output, if required. BNC cable is used to connect to the video input terminal
of a monitor, switcher, etc. (to be terminated with 75 ohm impedance). Do NOT pass the BNC cable
through the supplied rubber grommet, as that will damage the waterproof protection. Refer to step 8 below
for how to properly use the supplied grommet.

3. Insert audio in/out cables and alarm in/out cables to the corresponding terminals of the camera, if required.
NOTE: It is recommended to connect external microphones to ground (GND) on the digital I/O connector.
4. Refer to Figure 1 - 3: Internal Interface Pictorial Index for details on I/O interface.
5. If using the supplied rubber grommet (recommended), puncture a round hole(s) in the grommet that is
smaller than the diameter of the cable that will be passed through the grommet. Feed an unterminated
cable through the hole in the grommet. Terminate the cable with the appropriate connector. Refer to
Figure 2-5.

2.2.5 Mounting the Camera
⚫Use the mounting template to prepare a mounting area for surface mounting.
1. Place the supplied mounting template on a mounting surface. Drill 6 mm (0.2”) outer holes at the T1
(double gang box) or T2 (single gang box) template positions on the mounting surface. Then insert 2
or 4 supplied plastic anchors into the holes.
2. If feeding wiring from the hole on the rear of the camera bottom case, create a circular opening
corresponding to the “Bottom conduit hole” on the mounting template on the mounting surface.
3. If feeding wiring from the side of the camera bottom case, it is not necessary to drill a hole on the
mounting surface. The “Side conduit hole” indication on the mounting template is for user to identify
while mounting.
NOTE: Properly close the unused hole with the supplied conduit hole plug. For example, block the
side conduit hole with the plug when using the bottom conduit hole for cable entry and vice versa.
Figure 2 - 6: Mounting Template for Surface Mount

Outdoor Dome Series | Quick Guide
13
Figure 2 - 7: Wall or Ceiling Surface Mount
4. Based on your installation requirements, use the bottom or side conduit hole on the camera bottom
case for cable entry and feed the cables through the camera bottom case first. Then mount the camera
bottom case on a wall surface by tightly securing 4 TP4 screws (supplied) into the inserted plastic
anchors. Note: Unless you are mounting directly to a flat surface, do NOT remove the small black plugs
from the mounting hole; this maintains the waterproof protection. If you are mounting directly to a flat
surface, remove the rubber plugs.
a. Alternatively, the camera bottom case can be fastened directly to a single gang or double
gang electrical box (fasteners not provided).
b. The mounting height above ground level should be more than 9.8 ft (3 m) for wall mount
height.

2.2.6 Positioning the Camera
⚫Pan Adjustment (A)
Rotate the lens camera assembly to the desired field of view. Note that the camera lens should not be
rotated further than the point where the side conduit hole of the camera bottom case is located.
⚫Horizontal Rotation (B)
Rotate the lens camera assembly in the camera module; do not turn assembly more than 355°, as this
may cause the internal cables to be twisted, disconnected or broken. In addition, pay attention to the
location upon which the light sensor (1) is located, since excessive rotation, in certain cases, results in
obstruction to light sensor by the IR reflection shield (2). Check the Orientation section in User’s Manual
when 180° above rotation is necessary, for swift orientation adjustment.
⚫Tilt Adjustment (C)
Lift to open the inner liner and tilt the camera lens to the desired angle. Restore the inner liner back to its
default position after adjustment.

2.2.6 Reassembling the Camera
Assemble the camera housing with the camera bottom base, both of which have red dots for indicating
alignment; then fasten the 3 screws of the lower dome with the T20 security torx bit to complete the
installation.
Note: To avoid moving the tilt position, take care to angle the lower dome below the camera module when
installing the lower dome.

2.2.7 Lower Dome Defog
A Defog function, which heats up the camera to overcome certain extreme weather conditions (e.g., snow or
frost) that may harm the operation of camera, is embedded within this vandal dome camera. This defog
heater ring is On between 140º  -40 º F (60º  -40 º C). To prevent installers from getting a burn injury, the
defog heating function is not activated when the lower dome is detached from the camera module (as shown
in the following figure).

Heater is on: projecting point is
pressed against the button of

3.3 Connecting Process
3.3.1 Default IP address
Since this is a network-based camera, an IP address must be assigned. The camera’s default IP address is
obtained automatically through a DHCP server in your network; be sure to enable DHCP in "Network
Settings." If DHCP is not available, the camera will use APIPA (link-local address); IPv4 link-local addresses
are assigned from address block 169.254.0.0/16 (169.254.0.0 through 169.254.255.255).
3.3.2 Connecting from a Computer & Viewing Preparation
Connecting from a computer
1. Make sure the camera and your computer are in the same subnet.
2. Check whether the network available between the camera and the computer by executing ping the
default IP address. To do this, simply start a command prompt (Windows: from the “Start Menu”, select
“Program”. Then select “Accessories” and choose “Command Prompt”), and type “Ping” and then type in
your IP address. If the message “Reply from…” appears, it means the connection is available.
3. Start a browser, e.g., Internet Explorer, and enter IP address. A login window as shown below should
pop up. In the window, enter the default user name: ADMIN; it is required to change the password when
you login for the first time for added security, which requires at least 8 characters including 1 uppercase
letter, 1 special character, alphanumeric characters to log in.
4. Further administration of the unit can be found in “User Manual.”
